According to the response Tahlia received from Tinder, the app attributes the banning of her account to "violating [Tinder's] Terms of Service or Community Guidelines in some way." The letter also says Tahlia will not be able to create a new account using her Facebook or phone number. Tahlia took issue with the response, saying their "trans inclusiveness" is a joke and that in the past when she has reported other users their accounts have remained active.

"So @tinder banned me for violating their community guidelines 'in some way' but every trans woman knows this means I was auto banned based on volume of reports," she wrote on Instagram.

On Twitter, she encouraged other users to tweet a response to Tinder in support of her, whichmanydid.

Others responded with their own reports of being banned or knowing someone who has been banned, and as Pride points out, Kat Blaque recently shared in a series of November tweets that "@Tinder has been deleting every single account I've created on the website since I created an account," and attributes the deletion to her being targeted because she was trans.

Tinder tweeted a response to Kat apologizing, saying "something went wrong." Her account was later restored. Thalia's account remains banned and according to a report from Mic, Tinder's customer service team has been made aware of the banning.

In a statement to Teen Vogue, a Tinder spokesperson said the following:

"Tinder has made a firm commitment to inclusivity, and in November 2016, we rolled out our More Genders update in an effort to further demonstrate to our users that everyone is welcome on the app. We stand behind our pledge to make sure no one is ever removed from Tinder simply because of their gender. However, we must do everything we can to make sure that Tinder is a safe space for everyone, which means taking our community guidelines and user reports seriously. While we cannot share details regarding specific users or investigations, all users are held to the same standards and are removed from Tinder if they violate our community guidelines or terms of use. "
